|
|
Porcelain gallbladder is a rare disorder by deposition of calcium in the wall of gallbladder. The chronic cholecystitis is reported to produce mural calcification and obstruction to the cystic duct by stone. Since porcelain gallbladder is commonly associatedwith gallbladder cancer, cholecystectomy is prerformed to prevent it. We report here a case of a patient with porcelain gallbladder. This case showedthe typical ultrasonogaphic, computer tomogaphic and radiaographic findings of the disease.
